A police inspector who strangled his wife before dumping her body in a lake has been found guilty of murder.
Darren McKie had racked up debts of more than £100,000 fraudulently applying for loans in his wife Leanne's name without her knowledge.
He made 15 loan applications in one day a week before his wife's death - eight in his name and seven in hers.
Leanne McKie was a fellow police officer with Greater Manchester Police and was described by colleagues as "popular and professional".
She and her husband had three children and were thought of by friends as "the perfect couple".
In a statement after the trial at Chester Crown Court, Mrs McKie's parents Ray and Ellen Dodd said: "Justice has been served today. Our lives will never be the same again.

"There are no winners in this trial. We have lost our beautiful daughter and our grandchildren have lost their beloved mummy."
When Leanne McKie discovered the extent of their debt towards the end of last September she sent two texts to her husband describing him as a liar and asking "are we in such a mess?"
On the same day he strangled her before driving her car down the road to make it look as though she was not at home.
He then walked back to meet a surveyor who had come to value their house in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
The surveyor described McKie's demeanour as "perfectly normal".
Witnesses saw him laughing as he picked his children up from school later that day.
During the night he drove his wife's body to Poynton Park several miles away and threw her into the lake.
As he walked home he was stopped by a night-shift police patrol before being allowed to continue his journey home.

The shoes were later found dumped in a wheelie bin.
How to cook Bacon Explosion This concoction and Internet sensation came to The Times from Jason Day and Aaron Chronister, who created it shortly before Christmas one year in Roeland Park, Kan. They modestly call it “the BBQ Sausage Recipe of all Recipes.” It contains at least 5,000 calories and 500 grams of fat, but you don’t have to eat it all at once. It is not for vegetarians, ascetics or the faint of heart — instead, consider it a delicious challenge to your abilities at the grill. RECIPES FOR BACON 2 pounds thick-cut sliced bacon 1 ½ pounds Italian sausage, casings removed 3 tablespoons barbecue rub ¾ cup barbecue sauce HOW TO COOK BACON STEP 1 Using 10 slices of bacon, weave a square lattice like that on top of a pie: first, place 5 bacon slices side by side on a large sheet of aluminum foil, parallel to one another, sides touching. Place another strip of bacon on one end, perpendicular to the other strips. Fold first, third and fifth bacon strips...

Drinking water is essential for life, but many rural towns in the U.S. are struggling to provide safe and reliable water to their residents. For decades, these towns have neglected their drinking water systems, resulting in aging infrastructure, water quality violations, and financial challenges. In this blog post, we will explore some of the causes and consequences of this crisis, and what can be done to address it. Causes of the Crisis One of the main causes of the crisis is the shrinking population of many rural towns. As people move to urban areas or other states, the tax base and the customer base of the water systems decline. This means less revenue to cover the costs of operation, maintenance, and improvement of the water systems. According to a report by the American Bar Association³, in 2015, 9 percent of all water systems had a documented violation of water quality standards, exposing 21 million people to unhealthy drinking water. These violations were more likely to occur in...
